04.06.2025 14:17 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 06/🧵🎯 Zero-shot models (seem to) perform much better than fine-tuned ones, but only because they copy biographical details from the prompt, making speaker identification trivial and conversations shallow.
04.06.2025 14:17 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 05/🧵 🎯 LLMs are able to generalize to “unfamiliar” topics (Harry speaking about kryptonite).

04.06.2025 14:17 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 02/🧵 We cast the problem as a speaker recognition task: given a dialogue, guess the biography of the target speaker. Is it easier to guess if we also know the interlocutor’s biography? Is it easier if both know each other?
🧐 Following our key findings:
What happens when Harry meets Superman instead of Sally for a chat? 🧔🦸♂️
We explore how LLMs adapt their responses not just to their given persona, but also to their interlocutors’.
